Re: The good TV thread...

I've also just finished series 1 of Breaking Bad on box set. Was good. Will be watching series 2.

..another one I've never got into, keep hearing good things

Doing a Sopranos rerun marathon at the moment, flawless TV.

..hmm, fucking loved it but not flawless IMO, definitely meandered in parts. Suffered from not having a definitive story arc like The Wire I think. Despite all the artistic justifications I've read, there's no getting away from the fact that the ending was shite as well

Get into breaking bad, it's about to end and shit is going down. S1 will be a bit painful, but everything else will make it worth it.

I'd probably rate The Wire above, but still... the writing in the Sopranos is just something else. I thoroughly enjoyed Season 1, really looking forward to season 5 with buscemi. I love that i keep discovering new shit in it, done this marathon at least three times in the last 5 years. I didn't really buy the ending either, up until I read that massive article about the last scene - after that I thought it was genius.

I heard the latest season of "in the loop" is supposed to be epic? Some random article I read about how it's a take on the whole news of the world drama? Loved the movie, haven't seen any of the tv show yet though.

Wasn't In The Loop the film version of The Thick Of It series or are you talking about something else?

I binged on the first season of The Newsroom over the weekend, it's absolutely brilliant. Aaron Sorkin is the master of dialogue and the actors' chemistry in it is amazing too, they play so well of each other.

It's politics are the normal Sorkin-stuff, and there's way more relationship stuff there to please most but I can't wait for season 2.

Fucking hell hannu you're having a laugh. The Newsroom is like Grey Anatomy meets i don't know what.

I go in and out of liking Californication. A lot of times it feels like they are just going through the motions. It was awesome at first but I find myself falling behind and not having to watch it every week. Any of you guys watch Nurse Jackie? It's a nurse addicted to pain pills, and I like me a good pain pill. It's hit or miss, some good episodes and some throw aways.

The Americans looks great, gonna start that soon. Always up for Dexter as well. Scheduled to be back in July I think. Sounds like the last season

Can I just say quickly that Gypsy Blood a few weeks back was just fucking awesome and an absolute must-watch guide to parenting for any prospective new fathers in the room?

Also, this thing on Channel Four right now called Dreams of a Life about the lass that died in her house and lay undiscovered for years looks like quality television imo.

Cheers.
